Albuquerque police officer James Vautier said he is teaching faculty to be prepared, not paranoid.

"No system is going to be 100 percent in that situation. It’s very dynamic," Vautier said.

Vautier instructs teachers to run first. If you can't run, hide and as a last resort fight back.

"Training is everything, the more trained you are the more you are going to react in the situation and that's what we are hoping for," said Annunciation Catholic School's Principal Cindy Shields. "I think every principal is going to feel relieved that we have had training."

The teachers will leave the class knowing how to identify a dangerous situation before it gets violent, and what to do if gunfire breaks out.

"If you have some kind of plan you won't be overcome with fear and you might be able to save your life and save the life of others," Vautier said.

Albuquerque police said it will hold active shooter training for any school that is interested.
